FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

1. AGE RECOMMENDATIONS

Good Things Festival (GTF) is a licensed event recommended for a mature audience 15+

We are currently working with the event stakeholders, venue and police to confirm the age restriction for the event and we hope to be able to welcome under 18's to the Sydney event.

All young people aged between 15 and 17 (under 18) are required to be accompanied by a responsible adult and each person attending must have their own valid ticket. During the purchase process anyone buying an under 18 ticket will be required to also purchase an over 18 ticket and provide information on the adult you will be attending with. This information will be printed onto a wristband and given to you upon entry to the event

Unfortunately we are not able to welcome anyone under the age of 15 to the event

The event has the capacity to be very loud, have high intensity crowd movements, bands that may use profanities in their performance and patrons drinking alcohol. Children under 15 will not be admitted as GTF cannot guarantee the health and safety of small children.

In the event that you are assessed at entry as being under 15 years, you will be required to provide validation that you are actually over the age of 15. If you are found at the event without your guardian and your wristband on, you and your guardian may be ejected from the event for breach of safety.

We have been told to expect the constabulary and canine associates to make one of their customary festival appearances. You may be sniffed at inside and outside the show and even at car parks or public transport hubs. Possession and/or consumption of illegal substances will not be allowed.

Any patron found to be unduly intoxicated or under the influence of drugs on arrival or within the venue will be referred to police or security as the case may be.

A small bag (No more than A4 Size) or backpack is allowed but remember that it will take longer to get into the show & if you want to cloak it in, it will add more queues to your day.

Make sure you pace yourself, drink plenty of water, eat some food that will give you some energy & be sure to get rest, when you can, to maximize your enjoyment on the day.

You are permitted to bring 1 empty water bottle and a reasonable amount of food like sandwiches to the show. However, please do remember that we’re most likely in for a long day and food can spoil. There will be free water stations located within the event site to re-fill your empty bottles once inside.
